I hope so!
Mustâve changed it recently. Iâve done it multiple times on my tv / Xbox. The most recent one I did on a PC because I did it at work
Streaming functions by exploiting parasocial behavior. Thereâs a reason most streamer schticks involve talking to their streamers like theyâre good friends, and that they care very deeply about their watchers as more than just little piggy banks.
Itâs a spectrum of gross behavior, with the least awful just being rage bait farmers complaining about a game, all the way up to hot tub streamers on twitch trying to get underage boys to burn their parents money on them.
I would assume the big money for them is shilling products, but that would be a guess, the ad revenue on some platforms, the âsubscriptionâ gimmicks, merchandise. Of all adds up Iâm sure.
Did everyone READ the article?
#3: While the channel is live streaming World of Warcraft, purchase a cumulative of two (2) subscriptions of any tier to earn the reward.
As others have said then donât. Just open a tab with the stream and mute the sound. Or open a stream then go do something else besides be on the computer. Not sure why this is so hard for people to do. Oh wait, we have to complain about something I guess
Sure did and thatâs exactly why not doing it.
As said before, not going to incur 2 charges on my card just to get a pet from having 2 streamers in the background .Would rather have my choices of music in the background on another device.
You forgot the part where you have to buy two subs to some random streamer. And the part where they can, and will, use the twitch raid âfeatureâ to pass their streamers off to a different streamer, that might not even be eligible for the drop.
Yeah, I have âwatchedâ streams to get drops (running minimized) but totally not worth money.
Of course people are upset, itâs not the first time they do this and the overall feedback the other times was already like this, not because the prize, but because most people here donât care about streamers or specially WANT to watch any of then, but of course, when you just give such an expensive item for âfreeâ people will feel the âFOMOâ to do it, because why wouldnât they? Then move on without even remembering whatever stream theyâve watched or even using the âincredible rewardâ, because itâs worthless now. Like the Feldrake is now that more then one third of the profiles has.
And as usual, Bliz ignore feedback 'til itâs to late. But good news everyone, interest on WoW have raised on Twitch!!!1!!
The worst thing is people defending those things as usual, just because itâs a mount that only half a percent of the playerbase has.
Just start putting gladiator mounts, mythic raid mounts and the AH dinosaur on those drops to. For those things you already isnât âplaying the gameâ since people just buy rushes anyway.
âBusiness decisionâ lmao, yea, no s***. Diablo Immortal was also an âbusiness decisionâ it certainly made a bunch of money for Bliz, but at what price for their integrity as a company huh? I guess f*** that and gimme free expensive ghastly horse, so after that we can continue complaining 24 hours on here of how the game sucks and how Bliz sucks. The same critics that will rush to watch streams on the first day I guarantee.
This community is a joke and honestly deserve a game like that. And deserve every bad decision that bliz shove in their a***.
I wasnât talking about the pet you have to do the sub thing for. I was talking about the Twitch drops. If the streamer goes offline or passes you off to someone that isnât doing the drops. Just do it again another day, you have over 3 weeks to do it.
If you donât like the way they are doing this, then donât do it. But donât act like itâs some super complicated thing to do either. Now I get people donât want to support what is essentially a micro transaction with the sub thing for the the pet. But that is seperate form the Twitch drop.
Honestly, most people that are upset about it are the ones like myself who would rather just throw Blizz the money (since you need to purchase 2 subscriptions, itâs in the actual article) than give a streamer that we never watch the money.
It boils down to simple principal. Iâd rather not support someone I could care less about and just support the company directly. (Streamers arenât for everyone)
Iâm not going to be a part of Streamer Stimulus Season for a cheap mount Blizz but thanks.
This isnât an amazing mount, but itâs anything but âcheap.â
As in, the card sells for over a thousand bucks.
To people with more money than brains.
WoW streamers are horrible. Not worth it.
Nice. I like free stuff. Twitch is lame, but mostly because of the lengthy ads.
Ok, nevermind then, lmao!
Sure, but now that marketâs dead, and this is only a good thing.
I mean, yes, I agree that itâs a good thing that people who blew money on this mount will watch it go for its actual value of almost nothing.
Having a sub to a channel eliminates the ads and also has some silly chat perks. I donât know how the payout works.
Assuming War Within numbers are looking bad so need to inflate with Twitch views to make the expansion seem goodâŠ
